What sets our TLE® Centers apart
TLE® centers are vibrant, joyous place where kids love to learn and indulge their curiosity. Take a look inside.
We love hearing from our happy parents
Parents are such an important part of The Learning Experience family. We love hearing from them–especially when they share with us the growth and learning they see in their children!
My wife and I have had a wonderful experience with TLE. Researching the best daycare for our child was of the utmost importance for our family. The patience, care, great communication and quite frankly security of the location made them standout from the rest. The team from the facility Director who is incredibly responsive, to the staff who provide daily updates throughout the course of the day are second to none. Keep up the great work. We appreciate it!

My 11mo old loves TLE. She has connected and formed bonds with her teachers, I love that she has learned so much. The transition from the previous center to TLE was beyond what I had expected. They are always keeping me updated and she is always engaged with various activities. I would 100% recommend TLE they are best.

We love everything about TLE! After touring several providers in the area, we enrolled our infant about a year ago, and it has exceeded all expectations. The staff are warm and professional, and we feel connected to his daily activity through frequent updates, photos and regular communication. From the happy smile our toddler shows at drop off, to the fun art projects and new skills he comes home with, we are fully confident in the quality of care and attention he receives. We also love that he is exposed to diversity in his classroom and development experience at TLE.

We LOVE TLE! Our 3yo is thriving with structure, routine, learning new things every day and social interaction with some really great kids and teachers. He loves coming to school every day and I have seen growth in his communication, identification of colors, numbers, letters and other basic educational skills. We also had our 4mo (going back at 10mo due to COVID) but he was so taken care of and loved. Can't say enough about this place - it's clean, it's lovely, the teachers are great and the other children (including mine) are so happy!

We love TLE Bucktown. We also adored our previous provider — so TLE had big shoes to fill — and we have been so very pleased. Dave is a terrific manager and does an excellent job communicating with families. He has also been extremely accommodating during the COVID crisis, which has been a much needed peace of mind during these challenging times. Most importantly, our daughter loves TLE and her teachers, calling out their names while she is away from class.

Monthly Curriculum Theme
Harvest Time
It's Harvest Time at TLE! Led by our friend, Penny Polite, October's curriculum theme takes our little learners on a healthy journey down to the farm to discover how foods are grown, harvested, and make their way into our homes.
Characters that bring learning to life
Designed for six stages of early development
Our curriculum is specially designed and created to focus on each of the six early stages of development: Infant, Toddler, Twaddler, Prepper, Preschooler and Kindergartener.
Built with your child’s needs in mind
At each TLE® Center, every detail was picked deliberately — and plays a key part. Together, they inspire a child’s natural curiosity and creativity, and create an overall environment where children feel comfortable, safe and ready to learn.
Committed to innovation in childcare
Since 1980, The Learning Experience® founders the Weissman family have worked to develop and implement childcare and early education programs that are innovative, ground-breaking and built upon three key principles: Learn, Play and Grow.
